Armadillo Biology and History

There are some interesting facts about armadillos that you should know. Armadillos are originally from South America. In the 1920's-1950's many armadillos were released in the Southeastern U.S. from various sources. Some intentional and others unintentional. Armadillos are the only carrier of leprosy in North America. In order for the disease to be transmitted, there must be blood or saliva contact. Armadillos will dig multiple burrows throughout their territories. Some burrows are dug just for the purpose of escape routes if a predator comes near. Other burrows are used for sleeping during the day (armadillos are nocturnal). The reason armadillos have multiple burrows is because food sources change and it becomes more convenient for them to stay closer to active food sources. When armadillos have their young, they always have quadruplets (4) and they are always identical of the same sex.
